Day 53 - I'm Back

That time of the month finally over, my three day headache finally gone and I woke up this morning feeling fresh and excited for my run. I ran a an easy 5 miles. No stress no strain and really enjoyed getting outdoors after a few days off. I kind of have mixed feelings about taking a 4 days off. I definitely couldn't of done any running on Sunday, but I was only mildly sick on the other three days having a headache and little sleep. I guess in the long run it's better I took a few days to rest but I hope it won't ruin my process in training. I have to make sure I can keep up to my old man when we do the marathon! Glad to be back!

Today's Stats: 5miles, 8.04 km in 49:21 avg pace of 6:08/km burned 703 cal.

    Hi Laura, glad to see you are better. Your times per training run are really coming down.
    This is where I suggest you concentrate on doing an easy run one day and a tempo/hard run on the next day and continue this throughout your training. Make sure you don't miss your long run as this is what the other weekly days are preparing you for. As you build your long run your stamina for long distance takes hold. Your muscles get stronger and stronger and you will start to lose more weight as your long runs get longer. This should make you very happy. But please always do your long runs slowly as this will help you avoid injuries. If you try to do fast temp runs during your long run it will put stresses on all parts of your body, from plantar-fasciitis, archilles stress, calves knotting, hamstrings knotting, quads,hip disjointing, etc. Remember, in the beginning of your long runs your body is not use to this extra effort so you have to build to it slow and easy. It only makes sense! After you have been running long for a couple months then, and only then, you can pick out the speed. Lots about this later. Awesome effort to date. Keep up the good work. Love, Dad
